To the average taxpayer the use of the phrase "not making adequate annual yearly progress" will read the same as "inadequate" therefore transferring the
idea of "inadequate" to over 47% of our schools.
In this example framing of the question is key. The "Do not go far enough" response is worded in a way to give respondents an easy out but the label on the pie chart doesn't reflect the nuance included in the question.
Conveniently, this infographic only reports poll data that supports DELL's objectives. Important data that is inconvenient is printed in small print only.
This is also a good example of the "bandwagon" technique.

This graph ignores data about other funding sources. If anything, it shows how funding has shifted from local to federal sources.
It also presumes the purpose of the increase in
federal spending was to raise NAEP Reading Scores.

There are multiple problems with this graph, not just the transfer that happens with "Individual Impact."
Promethian's ActivClassroom graph doesn't define what the percentage points measure.
In addition to using "transfer" they also make use of misleading or problematic data visualization to sell their product.

There is too much relevant information left out of this graph for it not to be a form of "card stacking."
This chart also "card stacks" by making the differences in the numbers seem much larger than they really are.

This graph "card stacks" by not taking into account inflation as a factor.
